VERA Platform_454 Wet felting "Wet felting is a traditional fiber art technique that transforms wool or other natural fibers into a dense, durable fabric by using moisture, heat, and agitation. The process involves layering raw wool, sprinkling it with warm, soapy water, and then repeatedly rolling, rubbing, or pressing the fibers together. As the wool\u2019s tiny scales catch and bond, it forms a tightly interlocked material known as felt. This versatile craft is used to create everything from clothing and accessories to decorative items and art pieces, and it offers a tactile, hands-on way to explore the unique properties of wool." iain Slovene Intangable Heritage image/jpeg IMAGE University of St Andrews VERA Platform "Wet felting is a traditional fiber art technique that transforms wool or other natural fibers into a dense, durable fabric by using moisture, heat, and agitation.

Made from natural, undyed wool. The wool fibers have been shaped and compressed using a wet felting and needle felting technique, which binds the fibers together to create a sturdy yet lightweight structure." Movable Heritage "This is a masterfully crafted wet-felted wool jacket, created entirely from a single piece of felt. The seamless construction demonstrates a high level of expertise in both felting and garment shaping, as the entire form is sculpted during the felting process rather than being cut and stitched together. The jacket features a rich blend of deep blue tones with organic textures, achieved through the careful manipulation of wool fibers. " Movable Heritage "This is a delicate, handmade scarf crafted using a nuno felting technique, which combines lightweight fabric\u2014such as silk or chiffon\u2014with wool fibers. The scarf features a sheer silk black base with vibrant red felted wool accents, creating a contrast. The red wool is integrated into the fabric through a process of wet felting, where wool fibers are gently worked into the fabric using soap, water, and agitation."
